Spooky season is officially upon us as we enter the month of October. If you are a bride getting married in the month of October and love spooky season and want to know how you can add a little into your wedding this is for you. We will talk about spooky wedding colors, haunting engagement photography spots, and some spooky music your guests can dance to at your wedding.
Wedding Colors
Colors that come to mind when you think of Halloween are usually orange (of course), black, dark green and dark purple. There are many ways to add these colors into your wedding for a subtle hint at Halloween without giving away the fact that it inspired you.
Orange
Let’s talk about the color orange and how you can add that into your wedding. Of course, you can have your bridesmaids wear orange dress, and your groomsmen wear orange ties. If you want to do a more subtle hint of orange, you can add orange flowers into the bouquets and boutonnieres. The men could also wear orange bow ties. That way you are adding in the orange as a secondary color.
Black
Luckily black is a staple color in the wedding industry specifically focusing on the tuxedos for the groom and groomsmen. With the men wearing a black tuxedo paired with black dress shoes all that’s left is figuring out how to tie in black with the bridesmaid’s outfit. There is an option of having them wear black shoes. Another option is adding a flower that is black in the floral arrangement of the bouquets. If it even calls to you as a bride, you can wear a black wedding dress to round out the whole theme of a spooky bride.
Purple
Now when I say purple, in reference to Halloween I am talking the dark and deep purple color. Your bridesmaids can wear purple dresses. The bouquets for the wedding can have a deep purple flower in them. The groom and groomsmen can wear purple vests with a purple flower boutonniere. The bride can wear purple shoes to coordinate everyone in the wedding party.
Green
Last, but not least green. Again, with green I’m talking the dark and deep green color. This color is gorgeous, and if it is the primary color of your wedding, you can have the bridesmaids wear green dresses. The jewelry can have hints of green as well. The men can wear deep green ties with a gray suit.
The options with how you can add these colors into your wedding are endless depending on whether the color is a primary or secondary wedding color.
